'''Turanga Leela''', known simply as '''Leela''', is a character from the [[List of animated television series|animated television]] series ''[[Futurama]]''. Leela is captain of the [[Planet Express Ship]] and has an on-again, off-again relationship with [[Philip J. Fry]]. The character, voiced by [[Katey Sagal]], is named for the [[Turangalîla-Symphonie]] by [[Olivier Messiaen]].

Leela is the [[cyclops]] captain of the [[Planet Express Ship]] and head of its crew, which includes [[Fry (Futurama)|Fry]] and [[Bender (Futurama)|Bender]]. Leela was raised in an [[orphanage|orphanarium]], believing herself to have descended from a race of cyclopic aliens for much of her life. As a result Leela spends the early part of the series determined to discover her origins, as seen in "[[A Bicyclops Built for Two]]" when Leela meets another alleged member of her race, only to discover that he is a [[shapeshifting]] impostor.<ref name=ABBFT>{{cite episode |title=A Bicyclops Built For Two|episodelink=A Bicyclops Built For Two|series=Futurama |credits=[[Eric Kaplan|Kaplan, Eric]]|network=Fox |airdate=2000-03-19 |season=02 |number=13}}</ref> The episode "[[Leela's Homeworld]]" reveals Leela's parents, [[List of recurring Futurama characters#Turanga Morris and Munda|Turanga Morris and Munda]], who are in fact mutants living in the sewers of [[Futurama#Setting|New New York City]].<ref name="LH">{{cite episode |title=Leela's Homeworld|episodelink=Leela's Homeworld |series=Futurama |credits=[[Kristin Gore|Gore, Kristin]]|network=Fox |airdate=2002-02-17 |season=04 |number=05}}</ref> As mutants are forbidden from living on the surface, Leela continues to maintain she is an alien, until the episode "[[The Mutants Are Revolting]]" in which her secret is exposed to the public.

Welcome to the '''Video games WikiProject''' on the English Wikipedia! We are a [[WikiPedia:WikiProject|group]] dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to '''[[video game]]s'''.


If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on '''[[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games|our discussion page]]''', or by contacting [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Members|participants]] of the project.
Before working for Planet Express, Leela was a "Fate Assignment Officer" at Applied Cryogenics, where she was responsible for assigning [[career]]s to the people defrosted from the cryogenic tubes. In "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", Fry rejects the career Leela assigns him and escapes the facility. Leela pursues Fry, but ultimately quits her job and joins Fry. Together with Bender, the three seek employment with Fry's distant nephew [[Professor Farnsworth]] at Planet Express. Leela has occasionally left this job to pursue other interests, such as [[environmentalism|environmental]] and [[feminism|feminist]] [[activism]].

Leela is portrayed as a character who receives unwanted romantic attention. She rejects Fry's advances for much of the series, although mellows towards him during the show's [[Futurama (season 4)|fourth season]]. In ''[[Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder|Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', Leela declares her love for Fry and the two begin an open romantic relationship which varies from episode to episode. In "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]" Leela and Fry are intimate to the point of having [[sex]], albiest in the bodies of Professor Farnsworth and [[Zoidberg|Doctor Zoidberg]] respectively, while in "[[Fry Am the Egg Man]]" Leela claims that she and Fry are merely platonic friends. Leela has [[Human sexual behavior#Sympathy sex|pity sex]] with the pompous space captain [[Zapp Brannigan]] in the episode "[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]";<ref name=LLLIS>{{cite episode |title=Love's Labours Lost In Space|episodelink=Love's Labours Lost in Space|series=Futurama |credits=[[Brian Kelley|Kelley, Brian]]|network=Fox |airdate=1999-04-13 |season=01 |number=04}}</ref> according to Groening, the episode marked a turning point in the series, as it showed that the writers could degrade the main heroine without alienating viewers from the show.<ref name="MG LLLIS">{{cite video | people=Groening, Matt|date=1999|title=Futurama season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Love's Labours Lost in Space"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

Leela's orphan upbringing and mysterious origins have helped fuel the development of her character over the course of the series.

Despite her strong-willed nature, she often feels self-conscious about her distinctive appearance,<ref name="Sterngold" /> and at one point elects to have surgery to give her the appearance of having two normal-sized eyes, though she later has this reversed.<ref name=TCHR>{{cite episode |title=The Cyber House Rules|episodelink=The Cyber House Rules |series=Futurama |credits=[[Lewis Morton|Morton, Lewis]]|network=Fox |airdate=2001-04-01 |season=03 |number=11}}</ref> Leela's single eye hampers her depth perception and is sometimes exploited for comic effect, for instance, in the episode [[The Problem with Popplers]] it is suggested that she actually ''is'' crashing into billboards every time in the opening credits, though it typically does not interfere with her ability to pilot the Planet Express ship (beyond crashing into the odd billboard) or her mastery of martial arts. She is very athletic and in great physical condition, with most males (of any species) unable to match her in physical combat.

Originally a career placement officer for new defrostees at a cryogenics lab in the year 2999, Leela quit her job after meeting Philip J. Fry, a defrostee from 1999, and [[Bender (Futurama)|Bender]], a high-tech job-deserting girder bending robot. Together they are employed as the crew for [[Planet Express]], an intergalactic delivery business run by [[Hubert J.

<!-- PROJECT STRUCTURE -->
Though early episodes describe Turanga Leela as a one-eyed alien,<ref name=SP3K /> ''Futurama'' creator [[Matt Groening]] and executive producer [[David X. Cohen]] always intended her to descend from sewer-dwelling mutants before the series was pitched to executives. The mutants later revealed to be Leela's parents appear as background characters in the season 2 episode "[[I Second That Emotion (Futurama)|I Second That Emotion]]", providing an early hint at her origin.<ref name="DXC LH">{{cite video | people=Cohen, David X|date=2003|title=Futurama season 4 DVD commentary for the episode "Leela's Homeworld"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Later in the series it is revealed that her parents had given her up to an orphanage (styled an 'orphanarium') in order to give her a chance at living a normal life on the surface, posing her as an alien due to her lack of distinguishing mutant features.<ref name=LH /> According to Groening, the [[cyclops|cyclopean]] but otherwise comely Leela subverts the science-fiction cliché of glamorously perfect female heroines.<ref name="MG SP3K">{{cite video | people=Groening, Matt|date=1999|title=Futurama season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Space Pilot 3000"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref>

Besides her over-sized eye, Leela's other notable features include her loopy ponytail and relatively large (for a cartoon female) nose. The ponytail was included so that Leela, like the other main characters in ''Futurama'' and Groening's cartoon ''[[The Simpsons]]'', would be recognizable in silhouette.<ref name="MG SP3K"/> Groening decided to give Leela a large nose just for fun, but the animators initially resisted the idea, believing that it was unnatural.<ref name="MG SP3K"/><ref name="Sterngold"/> Animator [[Gregg Vanzo]] notes that the artists also had initial difficulties drawing facial expressions and moods for Leela because of her single eye.<ref name="GV SP3K">{{cite video | people=Vanzo, Gregg|date=1999|title=Futurama season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "Space Pilot 3000"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Leela's usual clothing consists of a low-cut white [[Sleeveless shirt|tank top]], [[leggings]] and [[boots]]. Groening intended Leela to be portrayed as attractive and sexy, but had to instruct the animators de-emphasize exaggerated aspects of their original design that were too "racy".<ref name="Sterngold"/> What Leela calls "this thing I wear on my wrist" (referred to in another episode as a "Wrist [[Lojack]]imator") is capable of minor plot conveniences as needed.

[[Katey Sagal]] provides the voice of Leela. Sagal immediately wanted the role when she was asked to audition for Groening. She is one of the few primarily live-action actors in the ''Futurama'' cast. In an interview, Sagal said: "This is acting, but a different type of acting. You're not using your whole tool here — your body and physicality — but it's challenging that way. The animation work is really unusual. I don't have the same experience doing it as the people I work with."<ref name="Starlog" /> Sagal notes that she found out years after accepting the part that someone else had previously been cast as Leela but the creators had decided to replace her.<ref name="Futurama-rama">{{cite web|url=http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/24/futurama-rama-welcome-back-to-the-world-of-tomorrow/| title=‘Futurama’-Rama: Welcome Back to the World of Tomorrow| author=Itzkoff, Dave| publisher= ''The New York Times''| date=2010-06-24| accessdate=2010-07-08}}</ref> She also notes that she doesn't change Leela's voice much from her own natural voice but she does try to make it a little higher-pitched.<ref name="Futurama-rama" />

Welcome to the Video games WikiProject on the English Wikipedia! We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to video games.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on our discussion page, or by contacting participants of the project.

Purpose and Goals

Our main functions are to:
  • provide guidelines and recommendations for all articles related to video games;
  • improve Wikipedia's coverage of video games by creating, expanding and maintaining such articles;
  • serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to video games on Wikipedia; and
  • maintain the Video games portal.
We are currently working toward four major milestones:
(2554/2074)
(4398/4149)
(10619/8298)
(31224/31116)
  • 3.5% List-Class
  • 21.3% Stub-Class
  • 49.7% Start-Class
  • 15% C-Class
  • 4.4% B-Class
  • 5.2% GA-Class
  • 0.9% FA-Class

Participation

We welcome everyone who wishes to improve video game articles. You don't need to formally join our project in order to contribute, but feel free to indicate your participation by adding our userbox or advert to your user page. Members are welcome to join our project chat on the unofficial Wikimedia Discord server, please see WP:Discord for more information.

New users who have contributed to video game related articles can be informed about this project by adding the {{vgproj welcome}} template to their talk pages.

Project Structure

  • The assessment department evaluates the quality and importance of video game related articles.
  • The essential articles page identifies the most important topics in the scope of this WikiProject.
  • The reference library is an archive of high-quality sources that may be used to support development history, critical reception, and other sections of articles.
  • We have task forces within our project that provide centralized information and discussion for topics that have a sufficiently large scope, but would not benefit from having a separate WikiProject with all of the associated bureaucracy.
  • Page view statistics for the departments and task forces of this project are available.
